If red flashing lights are shown on the central reservation of a motorway, you must:

• A. Not go beyond the signal in any lane.
• B. Proceed with caution.
• C. Stop immediately.
• D. Continue as normal.

Answer: (A)

Red flashing lights on the central reservation mean the motorway ahead is not available to traffic and you must not pass beyond those signals in any lane. They indicate a closed or restricted stretch ahead, so the safe and correct action is to refrain from crossing the lights. You should slow and be prepared to stop if directed, but the key rule is not to go beyond the signal in any lane. Procceding with caution or continuing as normal would ignore the restriction, and stopping immediately isn’t required unless you’re already at the point of stopping or instructed to stop.
